Summary
Patrick Collins is a Senior DevOps Engineer in Denver with 10 years of multidisciplinary software experience, currently driving infrastructure reliability and delivery at Gainbridge. He previously led infrastructure at CrowdAI, where he personally designed most of the IaC, cloud-agnostic Kubernetes stacks, Vault-backed security, and GPU-enabled deployments that cut deployment times by an order of magnitude and enabled air-gapped and GovCloud contracts. Comfortable across back-end, front-end, mobile, and security domains, he treats side projects as fast-learning experiments—teaching himself Rust, Go, Flutter, and more—to prototype useful tooling. Patrick focuses on maintainable, observable systems: automated CI/CD, monitoring, Helm charts, and cost-aware architecture are recurring themes in his work. He combines hands-on engineering with customer-facing deliverables, from bespoke demos to sales enablement and documentation. Outside work he automates his life and seeks diverse, friendly teams where his breadth and curiosity can accelerate collective success.
